Source: am German, am pissed off beyond belief about a lot of things in politics, especially the lack of will to just move forward and do something instead of debating all day.
could be some trauma leftover from a previous time they just moved forward with political goals without fully understanding them.
That said, I am rooting for Germany. It is a relatively young nation overall, and has so many things going for it. I think it has potential to become the biggest European superpower over the next 20 years
The entire german government is terminally defeatist. They've been dragging their feet on digitalization for so long, they've been dragging their feet on accessible internet for so long they've been dragging their feet on transport infrastructure, they've been dragging their feet basically everything for ages. You go to Eastern Europe and wonder how things seem to be progressing much faster there.

Is there a kind of fetish among germans to demonise east europe? Perhaps the recovery process after 45 years of communism is slow and takes time. And perhaps east europeans arent as inferior are a certain german ideology claims they are? Anyway pathetic analogy.
